Seeking small sample size (max 50) to take scientific survey about MRA's to help me add and tweak survey questions for accuracy purposes.

I request suggestions to be left in these comments so that I may build a better survey. This is to analyze MRA's overall diversity and opinions. Similar will be done for feminists a little later since they're more difficult to survey due to negativity towards males.

I think the title may easily be misunderstood. You're working on creating a good survey? The title may seem like you're trying to do a bit shady statistics.

You should make an option for people like me that do not affiliate with any popular political party.

Such a small sample size makes this unscientific. If any conclusions are drawn about what MRAs are like, it can be used against us, because some of the mud from an allegation based on an insignificant number will stick, but it cannot be used to defend us since the onus will, illogically, be on us to prove that we are not, for example, all fedora-wearing neckbeards. We can be attacked on an ad hominem basis, but not defended. People will write off an opinion because of a negative view of the person expressing it more easily than they will accept it merely on the basis of his authority. And who we are does not affect the issues in hand.

Birth control pills being provided by a woman's insurance, even in cases of workplace insurance

Does this mean an option in the policy or forced?

Here is my feedback:

Q1. Really should be a likert scale with 5 items (or 10 like Q5).

Q3. Should include "Independent".

Q5. Needs a legend (1-10 left to right or right to left?)

Q6. "Christian" is too general, given all of the various Eastern/Neo-pagan options.

Q8. Wording is awkward.

A lot of the questions were vague or heavily biased.

For example, under the "how do you feel about these issues" section you have the following:

Male Genital Mutilation at Birth

What is "male genital mutilation"? You also ask about circumcision. Is there a difference?

What if I don't agree that circumcision is "male genital mutilation"? I guarantee that people that support circumcision wouldn't call it "male genital mutilation" and wouldn't support "male genital mutilation"

Punishing proven rapists with 50 years of jail time regardless of the gender of the rapist

What if I support punishing men and women equally, but don't support a mandatory 50 year sentence?

A payroll transparency act allowing all employees to not fear discussing their pay at work with other co-workers

What country do you live in? Because this law already exists in the United States.

Old School Feminists like the Factual Feminist

Vague. I don't know who the "Factual Feminist" is, and I'm not interested in researching it. Why not ask about certain historical feminist issues?

LGBT Rights (Such as Same Sex Marriage)

Are you just asking about Same Sex Marriage or are you asking about something else? Be specific.

Abortion in cases of rape, incest or accident? (Accidental meaning the condom broke and plan B didn't work)

What if I support Abortion in cases of Rape, but not (consensual) incest? What if I support abortion for rape or incest, but not "accident?"

And this question at the end:

Do you agree that both genders have issues that need worked on that can't be solved by focusing only on a single gender?

I have no idea what you're asking with this question. It is absolutely true, and not probative of anything. There are issues that affect both genders that do not have a gender bias. There are also issues that affect both genders that do have a gender bias. Then there are issues that affect one gender or the other.

Starvation is bad, and affects both genders.

Suicide is bad, and disproportionately affects men.

Should we work on solving the problem of food distribution and ignore suicide rates, because starvation is "gender neutral"?

Personally, I feel that there should be an 'Independent' option in the area for political parties. I had to put 'pirates' because I think most of the political parties are propagandized garbage.
